So latest technology should be used for building & ensure proper water drainage + rain harvesting.

A good road should have good foundations, be well drained and have a smooth convex surface to allow rainwater to drain quickly into ditches at the side.
The importance of good drainage, it is rain that caused most problems on the roads.
